Parque Natural Cadí-Moixeró y...

César Barba

El Parque Natural del Cadí-Moixeró es un espacio protegido que se extiende por tres comarcas, el Berguedà, la Cerdanya y el Alt Urgell. Es una reserva de montaña, con una orografía que oscila entre los 800 m en el fondo de los valles hasta los 2.648 m de su punto culminante, el Vulturó o Puig de la Canal Baridana. Las montañas que forman la reserva natural son la sierra del Cadí, la sierra del Moixeró, el macizo del Pedraforca y parte de la Tosa y del Puigllançada.
Las excursiones escogidas para este libro, pensadas para todos los públicos, se adentran por los senderos de los magníficos bosques del parque, recorren la ribera de sus ríos, se asoman a miradores privilegiados, callejean por pueblos plenos de encanto y ascienden a algunos de sus picos, como el Pedraforca, una montaña emblemática del excursionismo catalán, a la que también rodearemos por caminos bien trazados que nos enseñan todas las caras de la mítica montaña.
